Canon FD 35mm f/2.8
The Canon FD 35mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus wide-angle prime for the Canon FD bayonet mount, used on Canon SLRs produced between 1971 and 1987. It was Canon's budget-tier 35mm option, sitting below the faster f/2 version and aimed at general-purpose photography, street work and landscapes.
At UK auction in 2025 a clean example fetched £38 at hammer, with an earlier 2024 sale recording £30 — placing recent saleroom results in a £30–£38 band and a median around £34. These are wholesale hammer figures from the auction market today, so dealer asking prices and online retail listings will typically sit higher than what the lens is worth at saleroom level. With only two recent sales on record the data set is thin, so condition and bundling with a body strongly influence what the lens sells for.
